Under normal circumstances, a Panasonic DMR model DVD player can only play DVDs from the region it is assigned to--a player assigned to Region 1, for instance, can only play DVDs from Region 1. However, you can use the remote to enter a code that unlocks the DVD player, allowing you to play DVDs from all regions.
Step 1
